' To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, STASH v VIGIERT, a citizen of the United States, resldlng at Bremond, 1n the county of Robertson and State of Texas, have invented certain new' and useful Improvements in Toilet Articles, of which the following is a SpBC1fiC2Lt1'0I1v This invention relates to toilet articles" One important object of the invention is to improve the general construction of devices of this character.

A. second important object of the invention is to provide a device of this character consisting of a comb and brush and cover, the different parts being so connected that spring clutches will hold them in the de 7 sired positions.

Vith the above and other objects in view,

as will be hereinafter apparent the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, like chara'cters of reference indicate like parts in the several views, and

Figure 1 is a side elevation ofa combined comb and brush in folded position- Fig. 2 is a back view thereof. I 1

Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 0 Fig. 2.

handle for the brush.

Fig. 6 is a side view, partly in section, of the parts when arranged as in Fig.

Fig. 7 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing the comb in position for use, the cover and brush forming the handle for the comb.

Fig. 8 is a detail sectionshowing the latch for holding the cover on the brush.

In carrying out the objects of this inven is a view similar to Fig. 2 but. showing the cover turned back to form a specification'of Ilettersratentj l aiillted t, 9, 1917 Application filed. May 23, 1917. Seria1No..170,391. I v

- recess 11 while on the front face. thereof there is provided the usualbrush bristles 12. PIOJGCt-lllg fromone end of the-brush is a pair of spring arms 13 which are spaced at their free-ends and provided with .inwardly facing clutch elements 141.

In order to protect the bristles 1n traveling and also to form a handle for the brush there is provided a hollow cover 15 from one end of which projects spring armslo spaced at their extremities and provided with outwardly facing clutch members 17 and inwardly facing clutch members 18, the clutch members 17 fitting between and cooperating, with the clutch members l land being-'sofarranged that when the device is flattened as in Fig. 1. the spring clutch will tend to hold'it in this flattened position and, when the device is open as inFig. 5, the spring clutch will tend to hold it in theopen position. Moreover, in order to assist in holding the device closed there is provided on the free end of the cover 15 a spring latch 19 engaging a head 20 in a recess 21 in the brush back when the cover is folded,

.to form a handle for the comb 22. It will alsobenoted that the recess 11 is sufficiently deep to completely house the comb when the entire device is folded as in Fig. 2.

The use of the device will be readily understood from the drawings, the parts beingfolded into position asshown in Fig. 1 for packing; as in Fig. 5 for use as a brush, and as in'Fig. 7 for useas a comb.

There has thus been provided a simple and eflicient device of the kind described and for the'purpose specified.

I It is obvious that many minor changes may be made in the form and construction of the invention without departing from the material principles thereof. It is not therefore desired to confinethe invention to the exact form herein shown and described but it is wished to include all such as properly come within the scope claimed.

Having thus described the invention, What is claimed as new, is

The combination with a brush back having bristles projecting from one face thereof and a recess in the opposite face; of a pair of spring arms fixed at one end of said back and projecting therefrom in spaced relation, inwardly facing clutch elements on said arms, a bristle cover, a similar pair of spring arms fixed at one end of the cover and projecting therefrom in spaced relation, 1-11- Wardly and outwardly facing clutch elements on the ends of said last arms arranged between and cooperating With the clutch elements on the first arms, a comb adapted to lie in said recess and having an arm extending from one end, and outwardly facing clutch elements at the end of the last-mentioned arm and lying between and cooperating with the clutch elements on the cover arms.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
